Notes
- Choose fresh: Go for fresh Brussels sprouts in this recipe. I have tried with frozen brussels sprouts and they do not work as well. Try choosing similar sized Brussels sprouts as they help in even cooking.
- Want them saucier: While the Brussels sprouts are cooking, whip up some extra sauce (skip the cornstarch and sesame oil). Toss the cooked Brussels sprouts in the sauce and serve immediately
- Serving: You can serve these Brussels sprouts as an appetizer or as a side to any Asian style rice or main dish.
